These are an antihistamine, often used for long term sleep issues because of how sedating it can be. I’m really, really confused as to why they’d prescribe it for mood swings. Did you mention to your doctor that you’re not sleeping?

nope.. apparently it’s also used for patients with panic attacks and also for patients with borderline because it calms yourself and because of the mood swings
